a quick fix would be to add
dhcpcd eth1
to the file: rc.local

Silly question - did you add eth1 to the INTERFACES array in rc.conf?

I had the same silly question.

Re: how do i auto load "dhcpcd eth1"?
you should have something along the lines of this:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES="lo eth1"

Hrmm... no that's not quite it either... There's no need for 'lo' so you can ditch that along with the lo="blah" statement. Also, the INTERFACES is an array declaration, so it should look like this:
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)thayer williams ~ cinderwick.ca

As long as eth1 is listed before lo, then you should get auto connection
make sure that the same applies in INTERFACE, ie (eth1 lo) and not vice versa

That is incorrect, rusty.
The order of network interface entries in /etc/rc.conf is irrelevant. Also, as already noted by thayer, lo is no longer required in /etc/rc.conf.
